Good on the Alba MPs.
Lindsay is conceited a tart and a shadow of his predecessor.
Would be a good move for the majority of the SNP MPs to refuse to sit in Westminster like Sinn Fein.
If Labour get into power one of the first things they should do is ask him to retire to the Lords.
All the SNP withdrawing would do is increase the Conservative majority and not sit on committees, etc. It's very different from <10 seats, and would reduce influence substantially.
Changing Speaker is difficult. They can't do it after the election, as he'd likely still be an MP. Giving him a peerage means a by-election immediately and looks dumb. Would a replacement be better? What is most needed is a review of the rules and Erskine-May to bring them more up-to-date.
I've no sympathy for the idiots today, they'll get used to blacken the SNP name regardless, and achieved nothing at all. No-one much knows who they are or what they were doing.
